Not sure if I'm over/under estimating lines or if I'm using my MM and Mickey's Toontown options the best way.

I m sure someone will chime in who has much more info than me, but here are my initial thoughts for you...

I am not sure, but I thought I had read that MM and TTMM were not offered on the same day.

Some say that Nemo will take up your entire MM, where as you could ride most all of Fantasy Land within the same time. And plan Nemo for monday (a non MM day) at opening.

Sunday DL will open before DCA, you may want to start your day in DL and then move over to DCA at opening. And also will stay open later so you could move back over in teh evening.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if Nemo was going to me an issue so we may save that for another day - appreciate the tip.

According to the last schedule I saw MM and Mickeys Toontown are both on that Saturday - but didn't know if it was wise to do them both in the same day of if it created any issues.

As you can tell we're big chickens! Left off ToT and Splash - so that should save us some time. I've done both - glad I did - not going again

I would consider park hopping on Saturday, as DL might get crowded from lunch through early evening.You could still grab some FP prior to hopping and use them later when you return to the park.

The Explorer Canoes may not be open on Monday, but they could be open on Saturday and Sunday. The canoes usually open at 11:00am, so I think the lines are usually shortest just after they open.

It is ok to do MM and MTTMM both on Saturday. It's the only day of the week that both are offered. However, if I may critique a little bit:

1) On your first day, your first FP is Autopia. I would not recommend Autopia's FP, especially being the first one. Autopia's FP saves you the least amount of time out of all of the FP rides at DL because a) the lines don't really get that long and b) you will still have to wait a considerable amount of time even with FP. So I recommend getting that Indy FP first instead and maybe save Autopia's for later in the afternoon.

2) On your DCA day, ride TSMM before Screamin. It is the major pull now at rope drop and Screamin doesn't really develop a line until about an hour after park opening, but TSMM does immediately.

3) Like cruise cruise cruise said, Nemo will probably take up most of your MM, unless you are on the first couple subs. Whatever you do after Nemo during MM should be considered a bonus and I would focus on Fantasyland touring on Monday, especially because Peter Pan, Dumbo, Matterhorn, and Alice will probably already have lines when you get to them on Sat.
